Definitions
- This invention relates to the crosslinking of silane-functionalized polyolefins.
- the invention relates to controlling the crosslinking so as to avoid scorch while in another aspect, the invention relates to the use of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) as a scorch inhibitor.
- PDMS hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes
- Silane-functionalized polyolefins are often used to make compositions and articles that can be crosslinked by exposure to moisture.
- fillers that are immiscible with the polymer are incorporated in the compositions to impart functional properties (such as flame- retardancy).
- immiscible flame-retardant fillers are metal hydrates, carbon black and halogenated (also known as organo-halogen) compounds. The latter include various halogenated polymers and halogenated monomers, chlorinated paraffins, etc.
- melt mixing and fabrication steps need to be done at conditions where crosslinking (due to even parts per million (ppm) quantities of water that are inevitably present) is retarded.
- An effective means of assessing the efficacy of moisture-cure control additives is to make melt-mixed compositions, that are subsequently molded and aged in a water bath (with the degree of crosslinking, by hot-creep measurements, assessed at various time intervals).
- US 2013/0174416 discloses a process for manufacturing a multilayer article, the article comprising two crosslinked semiconductive layers separated by and bonded to an insulation layer, the semiconductive layers formed from a peroxide-crosslinkable olefin elastomer and the insulation layer comprising composition comprising a silane-grafted olefinic elastomer, the process comprises the steps of: (A) injecting the silane-grafted olefinic elastomer between the two crosslinked semiconductive layers so as to have direct contact with each semiconductive layer, and (B) crosslinking the silane-grafted olefinic elastomer in the absence of a peroxide catalyst.
- US 2012/0178868 discloses a crosslinkable mixture comprising a polyolefin, an alkoxysilane, an organopolysiloxane, a free radical initiator and a liquid polymer modifier.
- the organopolysiloxane contains two or more hydroxyl end groups.
- US 2012/0178867 discloses that crosslinked, melt-shaped articles are manufactured by a process that does not require the use of post-shaping external heat or moisture, the process comprising the steps of: (A) forming a crosslinkable mixture of a (1) organopolysiloxane containing one or more functional end groups; and (2) silane-grafted or silane-copolymerized polyolefin; (B) melt-shaping and partially crosslinking the mixture; and (C) cooling and continuing crosslinking the melt-shaped article. Crosslinking is promoted by the addition of a catalyst to the mixture before or during melt-shaping or to the melt-shaped article.
- tapes comprising (A) a first ribbon comprising (l)(a) a polyolefin containing at least one silane functionality, and (l)(b) a hydroxy -terminated silicone polymer, or (2) a blend of a vinyl silane, polyolefin, organic initiator, e.g., peroxide, and a hydroxy - terminated silicone polymer, and (B) a second ribbon comprising a catalyst masterbatch, the second ribbon carried on the first ribbon, allow for the delivery of a consistent mixture of resin and catalyst to an injection molding machine.
- hydroxyl-terminated PDMS for accelerating silane crosslinking of poly olefins.
- hydroxyl-terminated PDMS hydroxyl-terminated poly dimethyl siloxane DMS-15 (Mn of 2,000-3,500 g/mol, viscosity of 45-85 centistokes (0.000045-0.000085 square meters per gram (m 2 /g)), hydroxyl group (OH) level of 0.9-1.2%), and did not contain flame retardants (although the use of the latter are disclosed generally).
- DMS-15 grade of hydroxyl-terminated PDMS does accelerate silane crosslinking in the absence of flame-retardant fillers.
- the molecular weight (viscosity) of the hydroxyl-terminated PDMS affects melt processability and moisture-induced crosslinking.
- the invention is a process for minimizing scorch of a silane- functionalized polyolefin (A) under melt mixing conditions, and (B) in the presence of a flame retardant, the process comprising the step of contacting the silane-functionalized polyolefin with a hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) having a (1) number average molecular weight (Mn) greater than or equal to (>) 4,000 grams per mole (g/mol), (2) viscosity of greater than or equal to (>) 90 centipoise (cP), and (3) hydroxyl group content of less than or equal to ( ⁇ ) 0.9 weight percent (wt%) based on the weight of the PDMS.

- compositions used in the practice of this invention can be made by simply dry blending or melt blending the individual components and additives.
- certain of the ingredients may be premixed, such as by melt processing, into master batches.
- master batches are useful in aiding uniform dispersion of the ingredients and minimizing the number of components that need to be blended at an end-user's facilities.

- Such moisture-cure condensation catalysts and catalyst systems are readily commercially available.
- suitable commercial catalysts in masterbatch form include, without limitation, DFDB 5480NT (a tin catalyst system), DFDA 5488NT (a fast ambient cure catalyst masterbatch) from The Dow Chemical Company, or the Borealis AMBICATTM system LE 4476.

Typically this amount is at least 0.01, preferably at least 0.02 and more preferably at least 0.03, weight percent (wt %) of the combined weight of the silane-functionalized polyolefin and the catalyst.
- the only limit on the maximum amount of crosslinking catalyst used to crosslink the polymer is that imposed by economics and practicality (e.g., diminishing returns), but typically a general maximum comprises less than 5, preferably less than 3 and more preferably less than 2, wt % of the combined weight of polymer and catalyst.
- the moisture cure may be done in a steam chamber, a continuous steam vulcanization tunnel, a hot water sauna, or simply by exposure to air (ambient cure) or any other convenient means.
- compositions of the present invention can be processed to fabricated articles by any suitable means known in the art.

- Mn is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
- Moving Die Rheometer (MDR) analyses are performed on the compositions using Alpha Technologies Rheometer MDR model 2000 unit. Testing is based on ASTM procedure D 5289, "Standard Test Method for Rubber - Property Vulcanization Using Rotorless Cure Meters". The MDR analyses are performed using 6 grams of material. Samples are tested at 182°C with 0.5 degrees arc oscillation. Materials directly from the BRABENDERTM mixing bowl are tested for resistance to premature crosslinking at extrusion conditions ("scorch"), as assessed by tsO.1 (time for 0.1 pound (lb)-in increase in torque over the starting/initial values), and for starting/initial values of torque of the "unaged compositions".
- corch premature crosslinking at extrusion conditions
- Molded specimens of 75 mil thickness are cured in a 90°C water bath for 24 hours and subsequently tested in the MDR; the starting/initial value of torque is used as a measure of "ultimate moisture crosslinking after 24 hours in 90°C water bath”. Molded specimens of 75 mil thickness are also aged for 8 weeks at 23°C and 50% relative humidity (RH) and subsequently tested in the MDR; the starting/initial value of torque is used as a measure of "shelf stability after 8 weeks at 23°C and 50% RH", as is the increase in starting/initial torque over that of the unaged composition in that time period.
